"The writing of good autobiography requires an encounter with oneself that can involve the need to wrestle with potent elements
from one's past. In this pioneering work on twentieth-century Welsh autobiography in English, Barbara Prys-Williams traces
the psychological influences which have shaped the consciousness and world views of seven authors, all by birth, or by adoption,
Welsh. The study throws intriguing new light on the personalities as well as the work of many figures who occupy a prominent
place in the Welsh imagination, including several who may be described as icons of their respective cultures."--BOOK JACKET
